The vigorous and stimulating discussions at the SSRC-sponsored IDRF seminar in Amsterdam and the summer fellowship at the University of California, Berkeley helped shape many of the ideas in this book.
In Silicon Valley, many thanks to my hosts, Deepa and Suresh Gajulapalli, who opened their home to me with great warmth and affection. In Bangalore, I had a home away from home because of Suhasini aunty and Ravi uncle.
To Deepa, Josh, Ahmet, Kathryn, Björn, Nilgün, and Clare— thanks to you all, I read the book with different eyes than anyone else. I see countless words of encouragement, an occasional gentle push, an even rarer reprimand scattered through these pages—invisible to anyone but me. Your amazing friendship and intellectual support sustained me throughout.
And to my parents, my brother Chenchu, and the twins who are sisters in every way but through blood, Choti and Badi, I am still waiting for a language that will express my deepest love and utmost gratitude.
For guiding me through the process with patience and dedication, I extend heartfelt thanks to the wonderful staff at Cambria Press.
